There are many paths toward growing a family.

Whether you are just starting to think about trying to conceive or you are already receiving fertility treatments, we are here to support you in all the phases of your journey to bringing home a healthy baby.  

Conception

Chinese medicine has helped families grow for thousands of years. A typical course of treatment includes acupuncture, custom herbal formulas timed to your cycle, and lifestyle and nutritional advice. We will support your body by:

  • Regulating the menstrual cycle

  • Enhancing egg quality and ovarian development

  • Increasing blood flow to support the endometrial lining

  • Supporting fertility treatments while minimizing the side effects of medications

  • Relieving the stress and anxiety that can come with trying to conceive

  • Treating male factor issues

    • Sperm count, motility, and morphology

    • History of varicocele

    • Low libido or erectile dysfunction
